Almonds

Almonds are one of the earliest cultivated nuts known to man originating in the mideast. The United States produces about 80% of the world’s almonds with Spain being second. Almonds are very high in vitamin E, protein, fiber, B vitamins, essential minerals, and phytosterols which are beneficial in lowering cholesterol. We have all sorts of different versions of almonds from raw to chocolate covered, so take a look at all of the great ways you can enjoy their nutritional benefits.

What is there to say? Chocolate and nuts just are an unbeatable pairing. The decision with the almonds is whether to choose sweeter, creamy milk chocolate or dark chocolate. We will leave that difficult decision for you to make.

These almonds are wearing their red coats which add a little bit more fiber to this tasty snack. Roasting with or without salt adds that crunchy toasted flavor. Great for snacking, baking, or candy making.

Smoked almonds are a great snack to grab instead of the chips, and so much better for you too! That wonderful smoked flavor makes them a perfect companion to late afternoon relaxation with a tall glass of sweet tea or your favorite brew or cocktail.

Blanched simply means that the skin of the almond has been removed. These nuts are available either raw, roasted with salt, or roasted without any salt added. Roasting adds an extra crispness to the nut along with that toasted flavor. We roast these nuts almost daily, so you can be assured that they will be fresh with wonderful flavor.
